Velvet Revolver made their first public debut with soundtracks. First,
they covered "Money" in Paramount Pictures' The Italian Job.
Then they did an original, Set Me Free for Universal Pictures'
The Hulk. The band held a meeting in the studio for studio
execs around this time to show what they could do and solicit offers
for movie soundtracks. They were offered work up through 2004. This
section on Soundtracks could be a big one for them!

"Money" from The Italian Job Paramount
Pictures features a 2003 cover of Pink
Floyd's "Money". Debut song for Velvet
Revolver. Played during the movie
as well as throughout the credits. Not
available on the recorded CD soundtrack.

Velet Revolver completed their debut album on 12/21/03. The album
was mixed, mastered and turned over to their record label. The album
release date is set for June 8, 2004. The delay allows the
label to arrange and conduct promotional tours and Scott Weiland to settle his legal and drug
problems. The title of the new
album is Contraband. Scott Weiland
christened it, and it's appropriate for Scott and a great album
title. The
album has 13 tracks. SLASH always
said he'd have the debut album out by 12/31/03, and he beat that
date by 9 days. Great work, SLASH and Velvet Revolver!

Of the 13 tracks, the band has selected "Slither" as the first single off
the album. "Slither" is scheduled for radio play beginning mid-April and
will be released commercially one month later. The version of
"Set Me Free" will not be exactly the same as the one on the soundtrack.
The second single is not
yet set. The album was released June 8 in the US and June 7 in Europe.
While the contents are the same inside, the paper cover is available in
white, black and red.

Velvet Revolver released their second album, Libertad, on July 3, 2007 in the U.S. This is
just slightly over three years from the release of their first album, Contraband. The album
